Verse 1
Pulled off the highway, engine runnin’ low
Map on the dash, but I still don’t know
Which way to turn, which road is right
I’ve been drivin’ blind through the edge of night
Pre-Chorus
There’s a voice in my heart, quiet but strong
Sayin’ where you’ve been ain’t where you belong
Chorus
I’m standin’ at the cross roads, torn and tired
One path’s ashes, the other’s fire
One leads back to what I’ve known
The other says, “Boy, it’s time you’ve grown”
The wind is whisperin’, the stars just glow
And I’m prayin’ hard at the cross roads
Verse 2
She said, “Love ain’t easy, but it’s worth the fight”
I’ve run from her words most of my life
Now I see her smile in the rearview haze
And I’m wonderin’ if she’d let me stay
Pre-Chorus
I could chase the sun or face the rain
But either way, I won’t be the same
Chorus
I’m standin’ at the cross roads, heart in hand
Caught between a boy and a better man
One road fades into regret
The other’s paved with hope and sweat
The night is quiet, the moon hangs low
And I’m searchin’ deep at the cross roads
Bridge
Every choice is a chance, every mile a prayer
And sometimes you lose just to get somewhere
Final Chorus
I’m leavin’ the cross roads, made my stand
Takin’ the path where I become a man
She’s my future, not my past
Gonna love her slow, gonna make it last
I turned the key, now I know
Why I had to stop at the cross roads
